To Predict Warming, You Can’t Ignore Wind and Ocean Currents

Futurity
“The ocean plays a huge role in global warming — its currents can redistribute heat from warmer to colder regions, for instance, by moving warm water from the equator to the poles,” says Kay McMonigal, a postdoctoral research scholar in the Department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.

Healthy Humans Have Shockingly Different Digestive Systems

Earth.com
Amanda Hale, co-first author of the study and a Ph.D. candidate at North Carolina State University, explained: “There was research more than a century ago that found variability in the relative lengths of human intestines, but this area has largely been ignored since then. When we began exploring this issue, we were astonished at the extent of the variability we found.”

Creating a Mixed Magnon State in an Organic Hybrid Perovskite Material by DMI

AZO Robotics
"Normally two magnon modes cannot generate a mixed spin state due to their different symmetries. But by harnessing the DMI we discovered a hybrid perovskite with a mixed magnon state,” said Dali Sun, ssociate professor of physics at NC State.
